Colmar in France

In Malaysia, Colmar Tropical which is located in  Bukit Tinggi Pahang has an   architecture which is as similar as the Old Town of Colmar in Alsace in France. My friend who lives in France sent me a photograph when she had visited the resorts. This resort is located in  adjacent to Germany. And  it used to be the part of the German Empire.

Colmar Tropical, The unique French-themed attraction,  has an architecture which  is like a castle and it is equipped with  a bridge. It is just like the castle of the 16th century. it reminds me of the fairy  tales  that I read when i was a child from the book which is written by  HC Andersen.

When I visited Colmar Tropical in Bukit Tinggi Pahang I  saw the black swan in the park. Many people assume that all swans are white. Because of this assumption,  there  is a Black swan theory which is said that something that initially could not be there but finally became a reality. Actually the existence of black swans is already in the 18th century. For me  that was the first time to see a black swan in real.

In the lunch time, my husband and I had Tom Yam n rice in a restaurant in Colmar Tropical. The price is more expensive than the price in food court in shopping complexs in KL. While we were having lunch, the street singers from the Philipines came. The song which we requested were singing, then we paid for their performance.

Not far from this area, there is a Japanese Tea House where we can attend a Japanese tea ceremony and we can rent a kimono that can be used for half an hour.

I rent a kimono and take a photograph in this area which the landscape is like in Japan. So I feel i were in Japan....lol

unfortunately i didn't do the Japanese tea ceremony which would be held at least two people in participants. At that time there are no visitors interested in doing this ceremony.
